Which is better for everyday shoulder carry?

The Dooney & Bourke hobo, because its 9-inch strap drop slips over the shoulder. The Staci's 5.5-inch handle drop is short for that, though its cross-body strap works well.

The Staci is the larger, more structured bag at 11 by 9 by 5 inches, with outer and inner pockets. The Dooney is a compact hobo sized for essentials.

Is the Staci worth the extra $41?

If you want a cross-body strap, bottom studs and outer pockets, yes. If you only carry it on the shoulder, the $99.00 Dooney does the same job for less.

Which has the better rating?

The Staci, at 3.4 out of 5, against 3.1 out of 5 for the Dooney. The Staci's score comes from only 7 ratings, so treat it as a small sample.
